When the epistasis of the fitness function is bounded by a constant, we show that the expected fitness of an offspring of the (1+1)-EA can be efficiently computed for any point...
The ability to predict the quality of a software object can be viewed as a classification problem, where software metrics are the features and expert quality rankings the class lab...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model shape variations. It encodes sparsity, exploits geometric redundancy, and accounts for the different degrees of local variation...
Translation systems are generally trained to optimize BLEU, but many alternative metrics are available. We explore how optimizing toward various automatic evaluation metrics (BLEU...

Motivated by an underground mining operation at Kiruna, Sweden, we formulate a mixed integer program to schedule iron ore production over multiple time periods. Our optimization m...
